| Cromer - Wells-next-the-Sea Coast Guide Cromer is small, but perfectly formed, as the saying goes. It has all you need for a great day out - a good beach, a pier from which the lifeboat is launched, promenade, lighthouse and lots of places to try the local delicacy - crab! The crab boats are launched directly from the beach and you can buy freshly caught crab from the fishermen.
Cromer became popular in Victorian times and became quiet an exclusive resort around the turn of the nineteenth century. Today it is still popular but has a slightly faded air about it as do many Victorian era resorts. Situated on the north Norfolk there are lots of beaches near by which are suitable for swimming and families. Lifeguards patrol at Cromer beach in the summer months. The coast is quite exposed here and tides can be tricky - so check local conditions before venturing on to the water. There are further beaches at the small resort town of Sheringham about 1.5 miles from Cromer. Also based in the town is the North Norfolk Railway which runs trips on steam trains.
